The weight on civilization and society that has to
carry even on - man like Wo d i- very great A man
who goes around among people demanding the prop
erty and l even the lives of others to tarry his own
pints and for his own pleasure is a drawback and
not an asset Jo am community.
People who disregard the laws of the land or plain
justice of truth and honesty will become dangerous if
theW possess the same daring spirit that Otto Wood
posilfssed. Bis record is just another example of
the wisdom of separating bad and*.good people
A Task Too Big for the State
What will become of the roads if the State takes
all of them over? If the State attempts to accept
the task, it will result in a 500 |>er cent increase to
the present system maintained by the h ghway com
mission. How will the State go about handling such
a big job? Will it be able to properly, organize
system so that every rmd will- get a fail distribution
of work or will the I test politicians get ih • brsf roads'
If the State undertakes the job, it is believed that
many roads now maintained by the public will be dis
carded and go back into the hands of the individuals.
If the State takes over all. the roads it will doubt"
less be one of the bigg jobs ever undertaken by it,
a job that is subject to capsize the State and spill the
roads.
Useless To Expect Relief
North Carolina will have the State Legislature on
its hands Wednesday of next week, and many of us
are expecting so much that there is obliged to Ik- much
disappointment for some.
Unfortunately, the fellow who is hungry and rag
ged is expecting immediate help, but to receive help
is out of the question. The body, no doubt, will at
tempt to do the very thing the public wants done,
pass measures of economy. A m lli m or two might be
but that will not have verv much effect in com
parison with what the pßople themselves are spend
ing ,
The legislature cannot bring relief, and before con
ditions return to normal in this State, it will require
the cooperation of three million [jeople in producing
more than they are spending
"Goodyear"

Recently a blimp passed over Williamston. On the
blimp was the name "Go idye ir". A colored resident
saw the airship, read "Goodyear," and not knowing
wlujt it was all alwut, concluded that the governor
had sent it out to tell about a gotid year in North
Carolina this year.
Governor Gardner had nothing to do with the pass
ing of the airship, but he and his legislature Can have
much to do with the year for all North Carolinians
next week when the two get together.

Gold is our only unit of vaiue. This makes it
hard on those who have no gold.
The value of all the property in the United States
is based and determined on a small quantity of gold.
Owners oT aH property are at the mercy-of the.
gold hoarder. Debts were based ten years ago on
the physical values of land, houses, mills, factories,
merchandise, machinery. Gold then paid one dol
lar for every dollar debt. The gold still pays one dol
lar in debts, but since the commercial value of all
other property is manipulated by gold which is now
retired from trade, we find the dept paying value of
our houses, lands, corn, cotton, wheat and other crops
lis.- than half what it was ten years ago. A ten
thousand dollar farm a decade ago is now required to
pay a $3,000 debt. It now takes three pounds of
tobacco to pay as much debt as one pound paid ten
years ago. Farms thai our own government apprais
ed at SIO,OOO ten*years ago and lent $5,000 on are
notf selling for $2,500.
()ur government has said that a certain number of
g.ains of gold shall be a dollar, rain or shine, in good
and in bad times. The same government has seen
its owr securities drop from its own apprais ment cjf
$ 10.C0 to $2,500 in less than ten years.
Everybody knows the life and prosperity of this
country is based on land and not on gold; for that
iea-on our government should stabalize the value of
an acre of land just as well as it does an ounce of
gold. Of course the gold hoarders would complain
at such an act and say it was foolish. On the other
hanJ, the nation is permitting 100,000 of its sub
je s to suffer that one might prosper by an unjust and
an unequal discrimination.
When our government withdraws its protecting
hand from :he gol 1 hoarder, just men will have a
better chance.
Successful Farming
The type of farming that will always stand the
test is that followed by Henry t>; Grewi, farmer liv
ing near here on tht Washington highway.
Mr. lire, n says that his several tenants are all sup
p'.itd ww h corn, meat, (x)tatoes and good gardens to
slart the New Year off. That all might live, the far
mer requires his tenants to make their own food.
As regularly as they plow their peanuts, cotton and
corn, they plow their gardens, and they raise plenty
of hogs. It is a rule with Mr. Green that the farm
shall feed those who operate it rather than raise
money crops and buy what they need to eat.
Ibis type of farming has never failed to produce
sufficient prosperity to make people free and ha|>py.
It is a good, example (or the thousands of tenants
vtlii ;:ie without food and adequate shelter, and
knowing not what merchant or landlord is going
f «d them next year.
I ac landlord who has lost money for years on the
money crop system and is now unable to pay his
taxes and can't figure out just how he is going to
bed his team and supply his tenants this year, needs
to sit up and take notice too. Many landlords who
have urged big money crops heretfore are now seek
ing tenants who had sense enough to raise supplies
I. : vea: uflicient to carry them through this year.
To gain his independence, the farmer must adopt
this systehi, and the time is ripe to begin.
Rubbing Up the Brass Buttons
. . * r ' r *
Many towns and large cities have aired police
scandals during the [>ast few months. The action is
not so very strange. We are having all other kinds of
scandals, so why not get out the old brass buttons
and rub them off a little?
When we rememl>er how easy it is for a police of
ficer to draw two salaries, one for enforcing the law
and a second for not enforcing the law, we need not
be so much surprised at New York, City, Chicago
and Rocky Mount having to investigate occasionally.
Change The Law
If we had a law to force every man to pay every
cent on his debts that he can, and a law to prevent
forcing a man who can't pay his debts, it would help
stabalize business and save much embarrassment. It
is very dishonest in any person who fails or refuses
to pay his debts. It is a very hard thing to jump on
a fellow who is in hard luck and can't pay and force
him to sacrifice bis home and life's savings.
We need more honesty and more human sympathy.
1 cept those personally served in this
action, and all other persons owning
ni —darrtrm* an interest in the lanil
hereinafter referred to, will take no
tice that on the 26th day of Novem
ber, 1930, an action entitled as above

i I may be crazy, but I am no fool
j and if I were in the court house and
| expressed the following views before a
j bunch of politicians and school advo
cates, I would be tSrown out erf tFe
I window.
According to custom this is real
|estate, assessment year."What the as
jsesSbrs put on the books the ftrirt
1 stands 4 years, I do' not know who
'chief assessor T. B. Slade has ap
pointed but I am sure they are good
| men arid the citizens should cooperate
! with them but a paper said
jit would cost one million dollars to
; take this assessment in, North Caro
lina Now, if it has got to be done,
my plan as explained to one of ottf
good citizens.
Take the tax books of each town
ship and cut the real estate in each
tt wnship, as now on the tax lists, one
half. The citizen to which I refer
above, scratched his head and said that
would not do as the county must have
so much money and it would raise
the rate so high that Martin County
would be the laughing stock of the
State. But after we talked the matter
Over a while I convinced hint that I
was right. Finally he Risked me If
I weUe not a tax lister for the town of
Williamston. I answered in the affir
native, and had been for four or five
years and that I knew every piece of
property that was lister too low and
e* ery one that was listed too high in
the town of Williamston, My friend
asked me for a concrete example in
the town of Williamston. For an ex
ample I took a piece of property list
led in Williamston on the ta» books at
$4,000 with a county, town and state
lta> of approximately $4.00 per SIOO
On thin property the tax payer woulfi
■have to pay about $160.00 for town
and county taxes. Cut this property
in halfmakiiig it $2,000. and run the
county and state rate up to SBOO
which would amount to $160.00. My
fiieuds old political eye began to
twinkle and he said boy you arc
right.
My next shot was the schools, I
told him I was in favor of cutting out
all schools in the county for one full
| session 1 am also opposed to any
| more state paving of roads this year
J and the tax on gas stl'huld be raised
to ten cents per gallon, with one half
j of the gasoline tax being refunded to
the Counties. My friend looked at me
las if he knew 1 had a loose crew
i around my cranium and then what
Mould Chris Manning and I'Ope say
about the schools. I told him it made
no difference what*".those fellows at
the court house said, that 1 was right
and that I had seen more lacpters at
their homes since election canvassing
time than any man in Martin County
and knew the financial condition ot
the people in Mprtin County, second
to no man. and something had to be
done and something drastic.

THE LOW DOWN
! ON FARMING IN
THE SOUTH
G. A. Cardwell Gives Many
Interesting Facts In An
Agricultural
The Southeast as "Another Land of
Promises" i« pictured in an industrial
, bulletin published by a prominent New
; England firm of GhemisU-Engineer*
aiid Managers.
The natural resources with which
Providence has endowed this section
jare enumerated and we are credited
'with extensive development of these
resources. But when it comes time to
mention agriculture the condition are
,described iir these words: "And yet,
iagriculture, the great industry for
j which the South is preeminently fit
ted, is in the most backward condi
tion"
' This description of the condition of
j Southern agriculture did not originate
in the minds of our New England
friends. The idea must have been
transmitted to them by some of the
ablest and most patriotic friends and
leadres of agriculture in the South; be
cause reference is made in the bulletin
to two group movements now under
way for the improvement of economic
conditions in the Southeast.
| Quoting from 'the bulletin': ''The
thoughtful men in both groups are
acting on the principle that concerted
actipn is necessary, disregarding state
lines and minor factors. One move
ment contemplates the appointment by
|the several Governors of a general
committee, the other, originating out
js;de official circles, contemplates a »i
--imlar organization of a voluntary
firm, including prominent farmers;
merchant*, bankers and journalists, as
well as a large number of university
and college professors. Whatever the
filial joint plan or organization may
be, it is the general intention to pro
fit by the successful experience of the
New Knglaud "Council with a similar
procedure."
Admitting that we are backward (as
art practically all one crop pe iple)
and that we have been slow to change
our agricultural system, due to con
ditions over which the farmer has/
had little control, it is with encourage
ment- that the writer has noted )iere
and there a decided change for the
better in the condition of certain far
mers. In this connection, the following
brief statement from a narative report
recently made by Sumter. County,
Si uth Carolina, farm agent is iiidsi
heartening:
"Instead of coming to town and
frantically trying to get financed at
crop pitching time, our several hun
dred hog shippers will finance their
l''3l operations with March hog sales."
However, there is need of change on
thousands of farms if we are to again
have a prosperous agriculture. Chang
ed conditions demand new methods or
a return to methods formerly use 1 on
many farms under which a living for
•the jfarni family 'and livestock was
made on the place
In order that we may see ourselves
as others see u we are aKain quoting
| from the industrial bulletin referred to
ill the beginning of this article:
! "Diveriified Agriculture Necessary"
I "Southern economists are generally
agreed that what the South needs
most of all is diversification of its
agriculture It needs to raise its
own food. And this is-hecoming more'
and more a necessity. The total an-!
i nual wealth produced in eight South-!
| eastern States in a recent year wasj
about seven billion dollars; and of this{
more" than one billion dollars went'
outside to buy imported food. That
diet of many among the poorer classes
in these states is largely made up ofj
tried fat bacon, corn cake, and perhaps!
molasses. This diet is so deficient in!
I digestible proteins, and so free from
the vitamins that science has found ne-|
■ ccssary for health, that its deficiency
is evident in the poor average health ;
I of the working classes, and in the pre
valence of such diseases of malnutri-'
tion pellagra.
The farmer in the South, in the
opinion of those studying his problems
on the spQt, should be taught to
j change his general farm operations
gradually toward vertical farming;
that is, to raise s;- h field crops as
will be used for human food directly
or for cattle feeding. The forage crops
should be fed to such animals as either
'perform field traction (mule), furnish
meat for human food (pig, sheep,;
steer, poultry), or furnish a market-1
; able product (sheep, poultry, cow).j
Animals should be raised to a far|
greater extent, especially dairy cattle!
and poultry. The land should grow j
such forage crops as enrich the soil j
by nitrification (legumes), and the
cattle or other lire stock should be
largely raised on pasture, supplement
ed by silage. The main crops should
be those rajsed for huutan food or for
feeding animals. Reduction of the
acreage of cotton and tobacco would
remit in higher prices. The present
year has beeu a sad one for the one
crop farmer; for both cotton and to-1
hacco are bringing extremely low!
prices. " .... .
Faced with problems of unusual dif
ficulty, many of them impossible of
i in.modiate solution, the great South
east is fortunate in its possession of
•|lu resource and climate essentials for!
a higher degree of future prosperity |
than can be anticipated for many less
favored life supporting areas. Judged
by recent progress, it has native lea
ders familiar with conditions peculiar
to itself, which they are now organis
ing."
"Black Frost" May Cause
A Considerable Damage
A "black frost" may cause consider- j
able damage to growing crops without;
there being any deposit of frost what- J
ever, says the U. S. Weather Bureau, j
The bureau explains this phenomenon
by saying that the temperature of any j
usually falls more or:
less steamfJK!. after sunset until it
reaches the point, at which time
the invisible 1 ' water vapor in the at
mosphere 'begins to condense and be
deposited, especially if there is con
siderable nioistpre present. If the dew|
point is above degrees F., the free- j
zing point of «s?ter, dew forms; if it
is 32 degrees F.W. lower, frost forms,
since dew or frost does ,not begin to
form- until the temperature of the
ground or other object reaches the
dew point, it is apparent that if the
dew point is very low, the temperature
may fall low enough to cause consi
derable damage to vegetation by freez
ing without the formation of frost.
6 Craven County growers increased
1 their eorn crop by 117,405 bushels in
) 1930. This was done by increasing the
; acreage, using some land idle in 1929
1 and by better methods, says C. B.
- | Farris, county agent.
